Two models with Flat4 motor

Replacement of fuel from Regular to Shell Pura 100 has made it possible to adjust the carburetor Solex 34PICT3 more easily and more certainly in VW 1302 Super Beetle.

The bypass screw was closed about 120 degree, volume control screw opened 90 degree and automatic choke module moved to more effective direction, counter clockwise 30 degree.
The motor sound of combustion is awfully good and stable in every speed with good transitions.

About the test driving yesterday with 2WD modification on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model, no other worse tendency was found if driven without rear traction all the time.

Above all, the improvement in steering actions and stability in both straight running and turning curvatures.
All the time while driving felt I some reduction of friction loss caused by rear traction for a long time. Probably the improvement in fuel consumption would be observed.

BC7 had been modified in axle construction, GC8 WRX model's axle construction is transplanted including arm bushes, motor mount, differential gear box mount and trans-axle mount. Though turbo model as Impreza was, the body weight was almost the same.

No other specific modification was not required, because the dimensions, parts were almost the same except the wheel base 60mm shorter differences, this fact makes it easy to modify the old BC model with GC8 model's interchangeable parts.

The countermeasure for kicking noise from inside of left door on Beetle was performed by applying rubber insulator on the frontal tip of window regulator, channel guide rail was also lubricated. The resistance of window grass handle became so light like nothing.

The carpet application with the material obtained on Thursday would make the cabin more shinny.
Very gradual but actually the 40 years Super Lady is becoming younger and younger.
